His name is Bai Yan. He's 23, frail and chronically ill, confined to his bed, yet his mind rivals a supercomputer. His ancestors were renowned forensic doctors, and the vast trove of case files and medical records they left behind allowed him to build an enormous “human-brain database.” Unable to walk beneath the sunlight, he wields logic as a blade and psychological profiling as a shield, tearing away the masks of evil from within his tiny room.
He is Conan Edogawa, who should have been a brilliant high school detective. Now, trapped in a child's body, he pursues the Black Organization from the shadows.
When a frail genius meets a coolheaded boy, when the “eye behind the scenes” encounters the “shadow at the crime scene,” a battle of wits that will overturn their fates quietly begins. From precisely exposing a staged crime scene on a rainy night to a battle of wits from afar, from covert clashes with the Black Organization to a life-or-death showdown at a mountain villa, they are mirrors of one another and find salvation in each other, kindling a faint light of reason in the depths of despair.
His body is confined, but his soul keeps running.
“I can't run, but I can show the way.”
